38 Configuring the system
• Link Speed. Sets the link speed to auto, which allows the system to negotiate the proper speed, or
forces it to 1 Gbit/sec (1g). The default is auto.
• iSNS. Enables or disables registration with a specified Internet Storage Name Service server, which
provides name-to-IP-address mapping. Disabled by default.
• iSNS Address. Specifies the IP address of an iSNS server. The default address is all zeroes.
• Alternate iSNS Address. Specifies the IP address of an alternate iSNS server, which can be on a
different subnet. The default address is all zeroes.

Changing network interface settings
You can configure addressing parameters for each controller's network port. You can set static IP values or
use DHCP.
In DHCP mode, network port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values are obtained from a DHCP
server if one is available. If a DHCP server is unavailable, current addressing is unchanged. You must have
some means of determining what addresses have been assigned, such as the list of bindings on the DHCP
server.
NOTE: Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system.
To use DHCP to obtain IP values for network ports
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Configuration > System Settings >
Network Interfaces.
2. Set IP address source to DHCP.
3. Click Apply. If the controllers successfully obtain IP values from the DHCP server, the new IP values are
displayed.
4. Record the new addresses.
5. Sign out and try to access SMU using the new IP addresses.
To set static IP values for network ports
1. Determine the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values to use for each controller.
2. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Configuration > System Settings >
Network Interfaces.
3. Set IP address source to manual.
4. Set the options for each controller. You must set a unique IP address for each network port.
5. Record the IP values you assign.
6. Click Apply.
7. Sign out and try to access SMU using the new IP addresses.
